He hasn't got a dx yet, but we are going through the assessment process with him at the moment.
He has always had problems with social skills, fine motor skills & organising himself, but as he is getting older the problems seem far more noticable.
While his class mates are all up on the field kicking a football, my DS is either walking around alone flapping his hands every now & then or kneeling down running his fingers in the soil. (I work in the school, which is why I get to see this)
In class he is very lathargic & needs constant pushing to get on with his work. His handwriting is like that of a 4 year olds & he still reverses a lot of letters & numbers. (He is 8 in September) He seems to really dislike school as well & has no motivation to learn.
Today was class swap day & he spent the morning in his new year 3 class, which he will be moving into in September.
His new TA came up to me at breaktime & said "We need to have a chat about your son soon - there are worries there aren't there?"
She went on to tell me how long it took him to even sit down as he just stood there at first, and then it was real hard work to get him to even attempt to write anything.
I am so worried about him going up to KS2 & all the extra challanges. I am also aware that the other children may soon start really noticing how different he is & picking on him.
My youngest son had his morning visit in school today (he starts reception in Sept) & seeing him charge around with the other children just brought it all home to me how very different DS1 is.
I have been feeling really down all day, and I'm so worried about the challanges he faces.
I am also finding his behaviour really hard to keep on top of, and I feel especially low today.
Feel free to ignore my ramblings, I just needed to type it all down because I can't talk to anyone about it.
